KILLING EVEon Hulu. The subversive spy thriller in which Sandra Oh’s MI6 agent Eve Polastri chased down the assassin Villanelle for eight incredible episodes has been available to stream on BBC America since it aired in April. But now the first season will be available to binge in its entirety on Hulu, as well. The New York Times critic Mike Hale said the series “unspools with the fluidity, narrative finesse and sardonic, dirty humor” that its creator, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, brought to “Fleabag.” Check out this Critic’s Pick before its second season returns next year.

ROLL WITH ME on Netflix. After a devastating car accident in 1992, an aspiring actor, Gabriel Cordell, became a paraplegic. He uses a wheelchair and, by his 30s, was struggling with drug addiction. But in 2013, the 42-year-old attempted an unimaginable physical feat: pushing himself in his wheelchair across the United States, from Santa Monica, Calif., to his hometown — West Hampstead, N.Y. The filmmaker Lisa France tagged along for the roughly 3,100-mile journey to make “Roll With Me,” a documentary about Cordell’s incredible resilience. The film was acquired by Ava DuVernay’s distribution collective Array this year and, after a run in select theaters, hits Netflix days ahead of the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities on Dec. 3.
